Arsene Wenger: Predicts his Arsenal side will challenge for the title

Wenger's pursuit of Suarez looks to have stalled since the Reds rejected a second improved bid of just over £40m, with boss Brendan Rodgers declaring the Uruguayan to be worth a sum nearer to the £100m touted for Tottenham's Gareth Bale.

The Gunners have signed only France U20 forward Yaya Sanogo on a free transfer but Wenger was defiant when asked if he felt his squad, as it was, could challenge the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.

"Yes, of course. I am confident. Why should I sit here and say to you we can

absolutely not win the title with the players we have?" said Wenger, speaking after Saturday's pre-season 2-2 draw with Napoli in the Emirates Cup.
